The French government that will be constituted on Monday, May 15, 2017 and announced on Tuesday 16 will be a government of 15 ministers. Here is the exclusive list of the Macron I government, which will have to hold good until the legislative elections of 11 and 18 June, which will lead to a majority opposed to the new President, which will force him to concoct a centre-left-right cohabitation government. This first government is already destined to be a real spring soup, or, if you prefer, a ministrone.
